The Other Side

The Other Side: Barzakh & Beyond by Imam Omar Suleiman is a deeply reflective and spiritually grounding book that explores one of the most profound yet often overlooked realities of Islamic belief — the life after death and the realm of Barzakh.

People often say, “I will see you on the other side,” but what does that truly mean? Where is this “other side,” and how certain are we of reaching it? Imam Omar Suleiman invites readers to reflect on the fundamental Islamic truth that those who have passed away are not truly gone. Rather, they have entered the Barzakh — a unique stage of existence between this worldly life and the Hereafter.

Drawing from the Qur’an and authentic narrations, the book describes the realities of this unseen world: souls living in peace or suffering in torment, martyrs dwelling in the bodies of green birds roaming Paradise, some souls reunited with loved ones, while others face the questioning and punishment of the Angels. These vivid descriptions are not meant to sensationalise, but to awaken the heart and realign the soul.

Through contemplating the Barzakh, readers are encouraged to reflect on their own spiritual state, their ultimate return to Allah, and the path they are currently walking in a world filled with injustice, distraction, and confusion. This book serves as both a reminder and a call to conscious, purposeful living.

Perfect for:

• Readers seeking deeper understanding of the Hereafter

• Those reflecting on death, loss, and accountability

• Students of Islamic spirituality and theology

• Anyone looking to realign their life with the akhirah in mind
